Dave

Hey, my homeslices!   A friend of mine has recently started up a music blog called traxx24, which has a sweet collection of posts so far and totally sounds like it could be an awesome arcade racing game.   It’s mostly about music marketing if you’re looking to get inspired for methods of promoting your tracks, but with an EDM edge to it.

There’s a really useful one collating a bunch of crowd-funding sites if you’re looking to harness your audience, some insightful interviews and a bunch of production-related tutorials to come.

Take a look and let him know if you have any ideas for posts or tutorials through his contact page, I know I always appreciated people giving ideas especially when I was starting out!

Hi! I’m Dave from boyinaband.com and today I’m going to talk about something I see looooads in the comments of musical videos on YouTube. The “Yeah? Well you can’t do it so shut up!” argument.

You know, you’ll find a performance where some weird looking guy is playing away on his MPC and then you’ll see someone post a comment criticising it, saying “That sounds crap, and looks really easy to play, that’s not impressive at all, try harder you gay piece of gay.” Continue reading »

Czech the second video on Andrew Huang’s channel songstowearpantsto for the rest of the 99 puns!

Video Text:

[David is standing minding his own business]
A: “Boo!”
D: “Eek! You scared me!”
A: “What were you doing yesterday apres-midi?”
D: “I was at a mixer with my stuntman friend”
A: Oh, how is Dynamic Mike?
D: “He attacked me! He set a trap!”
A: “Wow, what happened?”
D: “He punched me and said “You’re a bitch, and I’ll bus’ a cap in your ass.”
A: “I hope you didn’t sustain any injuries.”
D: “They’re minimal – I have a sore tooth, but I can still feel my pulse.
A: “Well at least that’s a sign that you’re ok.”
D: “I think he was on acid, he kept on gabbering on”
A: “What a dick, eh?”
D: “A complete knob. It was almost a homocide.”
A: “Good thing you’ve mastered a few martial arts.”
D: “When he wouldn’t release me I cutoff his arm.”
A: “Now I suppose you have to wave for him”
D: “At least I got my vengeance. He got what he deserved.”
A: “Amen.”
D: “Can I see your new house? I heard it has a garage!”
A: “Shure, have you eaten recently?”
D: “Yes, I ate – oh wait, I just heard my stomach growl – based on that I guess I am.”
A: “Well let’s head over to my pad.”
[we stay in the same position full body, the background changes with a swooshing noise]
D: “Let’s eat a stew, do you want some? Or do you want something else?”
A: “We could have some Fruity Loops if I can find them”
D: “They’re not next to the soup, I saw them near the produce I think…”
A: “How do you prepare triangle sandwiches?”
D: “It’s not very hi-tech – no, just mangle it, chop it and put it on a plate……reverb”
A: “These puns are becoming a bit of a stretch…..time….timestretch.”
D: “Let me just crossfade this broccoli.”
A: “That’s not a pun.”
D: “We need to MPC if we can come up with something really good to beat these.
A: “Well, this is a-”
D: “I gotta go in a bit.”
A: “This is a-”
D: “Would you be able to not do that right now, I have to kick you out soon.”
A: “But this is a-”
D: “…Loaf we can see, I’ll see you later”

Good news, everyone! Today marks the release of a brand new tutorial section on the site where you can submit your own tutorials and categorise them by genre, technique and DAW.

The thinking behind it is that if we all pitch in to make or find tutorials, then categorise them in this part of the site, we’ll have a fantastic resource of tutorials that is really easy to sort. Easier than doing a YouTube or Google search.

You can submit tutorials with the “Submit a tutorial” page, because we don’t mess about when it comes to titling pages. Just paste the youtube URL and any text if you have it, pick the categories it fits and submit it – the mods will then ensure you’re not spamming, and voila! You helped out and the tutorial gets more views, since thousands of people check the tutorial section each day (which is mental!)

We’ll let every tutorial submitted on the site as long as it’s not spam, and to ensure quality in future we’ll make a rating system that removes low-rated tutorials, but that might take a little while to sort out.

Text and video tutorials are welcome – feel free to find video tuts from YouTube and embed them while categorising them properly. Let me know if there are any categories you think need adding – but ideally we want to have only a few, or it’ll get really confusing, and that’s what we’re trying to avoid!

If we keep this simple and fill it with great tutorials, we’ll have a fantastic, easily sortable collection of frickin’ useful stuff.

Let the submitting commence!

This was a frickin’ nightmare to judge. There were several REALLY good entries that were very close to winning.

Those entries:
